The Northern California Veterans Museum Foundation shall fulfill its purpose through aggressive fund raising beyond our affinity audience (the local Veterans and the North State Community), reaching out to other parties such as government, philanthropists, educational foundations and others who welcome to its attention in order to preserve and propagate the history, traditions and culture of the United States Military and to educate all Americans in its virtues.

Creating and nurturing an endowment fund, which promotes continuing education focused on the culture, history and values of the United States military.

Promoting the Northern California Veterans Museums’ long term historical research plus educational activities through financial and intellectual pre-eminence among all military oriented foundations and associations.

The Northern California Veterans Museum Foundations goals shall also include the following:

Raising funds to complete the development and construction of the Northern California Veterans Museum and Heritage Center to include Congressional Medal of Honor and Purple Heart Memorial Park including a Memorial Chapel.

Increase the endowment that supports all of the foundations programs through systematic annual augmentation and emphasis on seeking educational grants.

Programs

Homeward Bound Military Family Support Services

Homeward Bound Military Family Support Services (HB) provides emergency financial, educational, nutritional, and other assistances to family members of Military Personnel, and to returning Injured Warriors.

Honor, Patriotism and Service to Country: We believe that those who wear our Country’s uniform and those who serve our nation faithfully, who support our American Values and sacrifice for our fellow Americans deserve the honor and respect of a grateful nation and the support of their Home Front communities.

We are committed to the highest standards of ethical conduct in all that we do. Honesty and Integrity engender trust, which is the cornerstone we strive for while providing our services. We are careful stewards of the resources provided by our donors and we strive to be good citizens and take responsibility for our actions.

​

HB is an organization whose mission is to show appreciation and express gratitude to members of the U.S. Armed Forces and their family members.

HB is an outreach program that falls under the 501(C) 3 and IRS tax exemption of the Northern California Veterans Museum & Heritage Center.

​

HB accomplishes its mission by offering programs and services for POST 9-11 Veterans, Military Personnel and their Families.

HB believes that just saying “Thank you” is not enough and the words “Thank you” need to be followed with action and commitment to meet the varied needs of the community it serves.

HB realizes that no one resource can meet all needs and works cooperatively with Federal, State, County and City Veteran Services as well as other non-profit organizations to help to meet the needs of those who have given so much for our Freedom and their support element, the “Military Family”.

​

HB provides direct services to alleviate a Military Family’s and a Military Individual’s emergency financial burden, as well as counseling and/or recovery support and advocacy. Emergency financial help is in the form of checks/vouchers paid directly to mortgage lenders, utility companies, auto mechanics, contractors, hospitals, and medical providers.

Silver Star Veterans & Widows

The Silver Star Veterans & Widows Program (SSV&W) is a brand new community service program in its infancy, implemented under the Heritage Center portion of the Northern California Veteran’s Museum (NCVM).

Blue Star Mothers are those ladies whose family members are currently serving active and reserve duty in our Military Forces.

Gold Star Mothers are those ladies who have lost a son or daughter in Military Combat Duty.

Silver Star Veterans & Widows (SSV&W) is designed to help Surviving Senior Veteran’s Spouses & our Senior Veterans who are in their golden years and in need of special services. The Silver Star is to honor our grey haired citizens.

This program has been implemented due to the exposure of so many seniors who cross the threshold of the Museum’s doorstep. These seniors continue to donate their items to the Museum from their elderly Veterans. This need has become obvious to the staff of the Museum to a point at which the Silver Star Veterans & Widows Program has become established. As our Senior Veterans from WWII, Korea and Vietnam continue to pass at an alarming rate, we as a community must continue to step up and honor these surviving Widows for their commitment to our Country also.
